Do You Need a Plumber or Gas Engineer As someone in the middle of a large renovation, this couldn’t be a more timely piece of content. Made me smile when I saw it. I was with a gas engineer only yesterday. I had a steep learning curve when I started to source tradespeople and manage contractors. I had to learn a lot of new language and terminology and understand the processes of how a house is built. I loved it all! Often, a gas engineer will do your plumbing as they can hot fix copper pipes, but if you don’t have gas, a standard plumber is better to work on drains and bathrooms. If you do hir ..read more

What happens in the one hour after… We don’t usually post anything sex related on this site, but I was intrigued by this post that describes post-glow physiology. It’s actually quite interesting. There is no doubt that orgasms are the ultimate stimulation for procreation as they feel so good with the effect lingering for some time after. This is down to the hit of dopamine which is not dissimilar to the high of class A drugs. Females get even more with a hit of oxytocin for a feeling of euphoria and men have a release of prolactin which creates feelings of satisfaction and satiation. After 10 ..read more

Car Cost Comparison: Electric vs Gas I’m a petrol head. Quite a bold statement to make in 2021. I’ve always loved cars and loved driving. The advent of electric cars is changing the driving landscape and I think in my lifetime everyone will be driving semi-automated cars. Or, they will have their car driving and speeds tracked and capped. Elon Musk and Tesla have probably done more for the positive image of the electric car than any other brand. If the future looks like Tesla then bring it on. Electric cars are more of an investment to purchase outright and insurance is more expensive for elec ..read more

What documents are required for a birth certificate If you don’t have a birth certificate, do you exist? What would you do if you lost all of your documents in a house fire. Or, if your parents lost your birth certificate. Or, you came from another country and don’t have access to your original birth certificate. Birth certificates are a commonly abused document for fraud as they are so essential to obtain other documents – driver’s licence, passport, bank account etc. Do you know how to obtain a replacement certificate – and how do you even prove you are who you say you are? I would have no i ..read more

A handy guide of hidden fees to look out for when you hire a car I’ve never actually hired a car. I’ve hired plenty of vans (there’s something really empowering about driving a big van). But I don’t have the experience of car hire. On a random tangent, one of my favourite comedy moments is in Planes, Trains and Automobiles. The moment that John Candy tries to take his jacket off and it gets caught as he’s speeding in the their hire car along the highway. I think about that moment every time I want to take my jumper off whilst driving. So, if I was to rent a car – I really wouldn’t know where t ..read more

Why Game-Based Learning will make your child Smarter I love learning. One thing I wish I had known when I was at school is that every child has a different learning style. Most state schools don’t support this. Turns out I’m a kinaesthetic and visual learner. I need to see something and then to touch it and complete it. Being taught by someone talking at me is very difficult for me to absorb. I just switch off. I would like to see a massive overhaul of how kids are taught and to encourage and nurture individuality and creativity instead of cultivating conformity and ‘one-size-fits-all’. Why Ga ..read more

Americans’ dream wage is 25% above their current salary Don’t we all dream of a higher wage? How many of you out there get the wage you feel that you deserve and more importantly, that reflects how much value you offer to your company? In the US, that figure would be 25% more than employees are receiving. What is the primary factor for your job satisfaction? Working conditions? Who you work with? The work you do? Or, does it all hang on the compensation? Marketing generalists are the ones most lacking with an expectation of a wage 40% higher than is on offer. Full stack developers are the most ..read more

How Pigs Helped President Trump Win the Trade War When this landed on my desk I was slightly trepidatious thinking that it was another Trump hater article – and I’m not into sharing hate anything. But, when you read through this is an insightful piece of content that drills deep into a fascinating subject – the trade war between the US and China. Through currency manipulation, inhumane labour laws, intellectual property theft to market barriers and censorship. The infographic dissects the Chinese pork market and touches on the current coronavirus outbreak. How Pigs Helped President ..read more

Women in Business An infographic doesn’t have to be an ultra long never ending scrolling page. A short and to-the-point graphic with a few simple icons can convey a strong message. Feminism, equality in the workplace and gender pay gap have been issues over the last several decades. Starting as a small snowball in the sixties, the issue has gained momentum until it is now a huge boulder of snow hurtling down the mountainside and getting attention. Companies have been making moves over the last few years to ensure more women are in roles that they are entitled to by skill and ability. Ye ..read more
